Took care of the incorrect ones; the remaining ones really have single-name author.
Hyphen listed as author. Also has a slew of quotes attributed to it, many of which are in Arabic.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I don't even see a quote. Gone!

Fixed one book; the other appears to be correct as-is.

Fixed one; the other three appear to be 3 different authors named "Grace".

I actually think the argument can be made that he should be left as author for this one, at the very least. It's a pen name for someone, but even so, it is on the cover.
ooops - I just went through checked World cat and changed to anonymous - want me to change them back

I see. I thought it was someone attributing bibles to Jesus Christ. Sorry for the possible misinterpretation of my tone.
Could someone please separate this edition from "The Secert of Chimneys" and recombine with "The Secret Adversary?" Agatha Christie could probably use some love, as well. Thanks!
Mod
Not this time. It was the last two times, though. ;)
Jessica, was there meant to be a link?
I NAB'd the stationery sets and journals attributed to this author. All that is needed is to delete it.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

As for Phoenix, looks like most are valid; I'll work on the rest. I also got all the Regans except for the one valid one.
Mod
Crap. Copied the wrong thing. Sorry.

This author is "invisible" Their name is actually a single space!!!http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I was going to rename it to "." or to some other placeholder name to be cleaned up and more easily found. There are 133 books attributed to them.
Otherwise, I won't change it and we can just leave it here for everyone to tackle.
Help from everyone is appreciated, especially someone with Russian language skills.

Single name author. Possibly Jacob and Wilhelm, but most of the works are in French and a Germanic language.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Cleaned out, except for one remaining work with what appears to be a legitimate pseudonym.
I found a bug in the code where we remove whitespace before saving an author which accounts for the single space author. Fix is in the next release!
